Kaapaali bowls and tunnels - the tsunami diverter

ABSTRACT

The Idea is about a durable, efficient manual underwater construction that can check the Tsunami and help nullify the damage caused by it at shore. While the traditional and existing methods try to defend the shore cities with walls and jetty, facing the full threshold of Tsuanmi, the patent is about is more efficient and durable underwater manual construction that would absolve of all the energy from Tsunami and also averts creating rebound Tsunami and as well withstands it for life time, in such a way that current cities which are affected by Tsunami will become risk free even in case of the event. We need to identify Crucial point in the ocean bed for that shore city and based on topography of the land scape under water at Crucial point we can design customized placement of KAAPAALI bowls. There is no specific geometry as topography is bound to vary and this eases up construction, as well it is sidelined with main theme of this construction, disorient the Tsunami, absolve the energy and create downfall of Tsunami underwater and as well restrict the rebound of Tsunami again as there will be no geometry but chaos in the rebound of Tsunami too. Thus both onward Tsunami and rebound Tsunami both can be checked. The main theme is to run the Tsunami into trenches and smash it against the land releasing all the potential of Tsunami underwater itself, the construction mentioned in patent is about more durable easily constructible version of it, which method would be more efficient again depends on the Topography.

INTRODUCTION

This idea is about how to divert a Tsunami wave that is shot byunderwater Earth quake in deep Ocean and protect the shore cities fromdamage. Once we understand the intricacies, mechanics in formation of apowerful Tsunami, then I can address the idea that I would present here.

Please refer the hand drawn pictures, representation that illuminatesthe mechanics of Tsunami with jargons that would be used in that to makethis presentation easily understandable.

Source point—Underwater Tectonic plate earthquake junction.

High pressure head—The pressure caused on ocean bed and Tsunami by upperlayers of Oceanic water due to gravity, which is greater at deep Oceanand reduces progressively proceeding towards shore with reduction indepth.

Wall of Tsunami—The Frontal part of live Tsunami wave. Core ofTsunami—The parabolic Core of the live Tsunami wave. Rebound Tsunami—Thereverse Tsunami caused by bounce of Original Tsunami on constrainingstructures.

Crucial point—The junction from where the tapered gradient land startsto ascend from deep oceanic floor to beach above.

TSUNAMI FORMATION AND ATTACK MECHANICS—

It is necessary to reiterate this, to make the patent ideaunderstandable. Tsunami is formed, Whenever there is a strong underwaterearthquake which is caused by opposing or moving tectonic plates whichmove with respect to other and suddenly spurts it mass against the deepocean water, it packs a powerful thrust into water mass, which ideallyshould have straightly/diagonally shoot up to the layer of the ocean,however the tectonic spurt surface area is comparatively negligible tosurface area of the ocean above the spot which is filled with fluid,which constantly gets attracted towards the ocean bed due to gravitycreating a strong restraint for this straight upward shoot up, as wellsometimes the tectonic plates would be transferring the energy sidewards into the water rather than upward thrust. Any direction all theabove factors are valid. The energy transfer is from Solid to Fluid andin a way Fluid is trying to restrain the thrust because of High pressurehead. If the quake is powerful enough then the energy transferred byquake finds restrain from High pressure head, hence it finds expressionas a Tsunami and lands on the ocean bead and starts rolling on eitherside of the source point. It is under constant High pressure head so asit rolls towards beach it slowly loses energy but enlarges the Core ofTsunami and Wall of Tsunami, where the energy lost in transition andconstrain by gravity is very negligible as far as the energy of Tsunamiis considered. As well as, as the Tsunami rolls on the ocean bed andmoves towards beach the size of the wall and core of tsunami keeps onincreasing as the High pressure head from deep ocean to beach keeps ondecreasing progressively. Once the Tsunami hits the beach there iscomplete transformation of potential (semi kinetic) energy to completekinetic energy of tall vast and devastative Tsunami on shore cities.Typically all the existing methods of Tsunami and related protection isall about withstanding the power of Tsunami at this END POINT which isvery much futile. Hence the Idea for patent which deals the wave indifferent spot with a different and comparatively very easy syntheticarrangement to the existing ones.

Hence the Kaapaali Bowls and Tunnels.

PROPOSED IDEA FOR PATENT

My idea for patent proposes diverting the Tsunami in depth of oceansitself. Tsunami would always run on the ocean bed in its compressedform. Once it goes past the crucial point, there is no stopping it dueto its sheer power. So while Tsunami is reeling under heavy Highpressure head in depth of ocean, it can be diverted to hit the land andrebound back towards Source point losing all the energy and orientationin the process in the underwater. More specific design would absorbmaximum thrust from Tsunami and cause a substantial disorientation inthe Rebound Tsunami.

Ideally the thrust given by quake is absorbed by water and as it startmoving due to fluidic nature of water and dynamics caused by Highpressure head and kinetic energy, Tsunami grows its CORE and WALL,progressively as it runs towards the beach.

Though ocean bed offers resistance it is negligible to power of Tsunami.However when we introduce trenches in the floor bed, Wall of Tsunami isdiverted and pushed to hit the floor harder due to High pressure headand weaken thoroughly. Refer page 5 and diagram III.

Slightly improvising the Idea with stepper block (KAAPAALI BOWLS) woulddisorient the Tsunami wave that hits on it and Rebound would be justdisoriented COREless and weakened with varied WALL height Tsunami, Referpage 5 and diagram IV. Where we eliminate both onward journey of Tsunamias well absolve of all its power on Rebound.

The structures thus placed might get damaged in due course of Oceanicwater movement or after successful diversion of Tsunami for few times.

Hence, further improvised method Bowls in Tunnels (KAAPAALI BOWLS ANDTUNNELS) exactly well placed on and around crucial point in the deepocean bed. The Tunnels are to be the regular steel reinforced cementconcrete that would be used for under water transport conduits and samematerial can be used for the Stepper blocks called bowls, Refer page 6diagram V, VI and Page 7 Diagram VII.

The Bowls to Tunnel conduits and conduits to ocean beds and walls aresupposed to be strongly packed around with ocean soil in such a way thatit should be reinforced like natural tunnels in rock, soil packagearound should be rigid and firm such that there is no change in positionor orientation after absorbing the impact of Tsunami.

Page 7 and diagram VII is simplistic hand drawn representation ofKAAPALI BOWLS AND TUNNELS, while tunnels are regular conduits used inunder water transport system.

1. I hereby claim that the best possible solution to restrain a Tsunamiwave has to be done underwater with wedge/stepper/trench shapedstructures oriented with Land(Ocean bed) which would absolve of theenergy of tsunami by taking a straight impact and remain in its placefor a life time. The Tunnels with stepper blocks tightly packed atFloor(Ocean bed) and walls (Crucial point raising gradient in landunderwater) disoriented in direction and size with each other not onlyabsolves the energy of Onward tsunami but dismantles the direction andorientation of rebound Tsunami as well, which causes crumpling ofTsunami (onward, rebound) to crumple under HIGH PRESSURE HEADunderwater. Thus I wish to patent the Underwater strategy, easilyconstructible and maintainable Crucial point tunnels with stepper blocks(Kaapaali bowls with Tunnels) with different orientation without a cleangeometry (by purpose). This base Idea can understandably be easilyimprovised depending on the underwater land's topography at the CRUCIALPOINT.
